Favorites are here, plus brand NEW Meditations for Leadership and College!- NEW Favorite functionality. You can now easily mark and quickly identify your most loved meditations. (ps. Thanks to all of you who requested this feature.)- NEW Leadership collection; designed to inspire and empower you to fully embrace your authentic leadership style.- NEW College collection; designed to support students in many new situations, whether entering or exiting the college experience.- March’s featured collection is Be Your Best Self; designed to help you be your best self every single day.

---------------------------------------FAVORITES DETAILSSimply tap the heart on the player to mark any meditation as your favorite. There will now be a heart in your meditation circle within lists for quick identification of your favorites. Sort by Favorites in your Studio, a Collection or Teacher Detail, and Search lists.

NEW ‘NEW MEDITATIONS’ DETAILSWhile we were at it...in addition to adding a way to remember your favorites, we updated how we identify newly added content. Now, we have a new ‘NEW’ in the meditation circle within lists to identify content that has been recently added (within the last 2 to 3 months). Like Favorites, you will see NEW in your meditation circle for quick identification of newly released meditations and be able to sort by meditations by NEW in your Studio and other lists of meditations. The old NEW, which identified Meditations that you ‘downloaded but had not listened to’ has now gone away (it was too confusing).

NOTEIf you favorite any NEW content, the heart will override the NEW within the meditation circle (the circle isn’t big enough to show everything :-))

NEW BANNER DETAILSWe also wanted to highlight both new Collections, as well as existing Collections that have new meditations added to them. You will now see a banner on the Collection scribbles highlighting ‘NEW’ when the entire Collection of meditations is new or ‘# NEW’ noting how many new meditations have been added to an existing Collection.

BACKGROUND SOUND ICON DETAILSAnd lastly, we have a new Music icon in the player. If you haven’t noticed our brand new (pretty amazing) music and ambient sound tracks, you’ll now see that we’ve updated our icon to a musical note. We’ve moved the icons to the bottom of the player, for easier access and no more stretching; right next to that cute little heart for adding a favorite.

Great Content For Practitioners

UpdateAfter complaining about the downloadable content not being accessible, a few days passed and the content began to work properly. I am assuming it was a backend issue with their servers as the app didn’t need an update to work properly. They’ve got my subscription.

Original - 1 StarI downloaded the app and wanted to try out the free content before making the decision to purchase a subscription. After I download a track, I attempt to play the file and an alert controller as presented showing that the downloaded content was out of date and requires the file to be updated. So then it takes me back out to the original screen where I could download the file again. This logic loop continues no matter how many times I read download the track. I attempted to send an email to support through their website and have yet to hear a reply. I attempted to send a message inside the app to support, but the send button is disabled. Now I am resorting to leaving a bad review in the App Store in hopes of actually getting the issue resolved. Once the issue is resolved, I will be more than happy to update my review.

Tried many, this is the best.

I have tried many apps for meditation and anxiety refocusing techniques. Most were given to me as suggestions from psychiatrists and behavioral health specialists. The stuff they gave me was ok when in a pinch, but nothing I would stick to. This app is on a whole other level. I am relaxed in such a way that once I start a meditation it’s almost as if I have floated off into some peaceful dream as my anxiety melts away. I was disappointed on day 1 to see that there was a fee section, but for full access to most of the meditations there is a fee. But after a week or so I’m sold. I find more peace and reflection doing these than in any office sessions. (Though that is in no way me advising anyone to use this app in lieu of medical and psychological interventions you may already use. This would be a wonderful compliment to any treatment.) If you have no issues and just want to get into meditating try the free version for a bit. I believe it will become something you enjoy doing every day. Wonderful app!

The best meditation app ever

I have been using Meditation Studio of a long time, maybe three years? Ever since Gaiam hyperlinked it to their website. I have tried a few others (Headspace), what I love about Meditation Studio is 1) Many choices for teachers... I am an aural person, I love hearing someones voice, the quality of their voice, and how just the sound of the voice can be soothing. The recording quality is excellent. It feels like the person is sitting right next to you. 2) Variety - both short and long meditations from a minute or two to more than 30 minutes. Sometimes you really need and only have time for a few minutes meditation. 3) Many topics - the most important to me, and why I keep returning to this app, some of the meditations are more like coaching sessions— geared towards moving through difficult or stressful moments in life. Its not only about “clear your mind” from distraction, but equally important to help when emotion is in the way.
